“The Scotts Valley schools benefited once again from the generous funding made possible through
Music at Skypark. Having grown now to over 150 5th-12th grade students performing in bands and
choirs we were able to purchase more musician chairs, instruments, new music, concert attire and
fund adjudication festivals for students and professional development conferences for music
educators. Thanks to the businesses, bands and sponsors of this event, our students can receive a
quality music education in our Scotts Valley schools.”

The 2016 edition of Music at Skypark is quickly approaching, and Kiwanis of the Valleys invites you to take
advantage of the opportunity to join us in sponsorship of this important and successful event that is so vital
to the music program in Scotts Valley schools.

2016 will mark the eighth summer for the Music at Skypark concert series, and our goal is to make the
biggest year ever! Last year our target was to cross the $100,000 milestone in cumulative donations, and we
accomplished that handily. So what do we have in mind for this year? To start our march to the next
$100,000 of course!

Since Music at Skypark is a free event, the generosity of our sponsors and vendors is the key to its
continued success. Every dollar raised above the cost of our (very minimal) overhead goes directly to the
award winning music programs that are so vital to our local youth.

Music at Skypark has become a tradition, not only for the Scotts Valley community, but for all of Santa Cruz
County. Readers of the Press Banner voted MASP a “Valley Rave” award in the live music venue category.
Associating your business with MASP will provide your firm with tremendous goodwill and recognition. This
year we've invited back the headliner bands that have drawn the biggest crowds in past seasons. Also, for
the first time, each show will feature bonus entertainment aimed squarely at children. That will make MASP
more of a family event than ever. Thousands of eyes will see the name of your business prominently
displayed on your own personal stage banner, and you will also gain exposure through our print, radio and
social media campaigns.

Members of Kiwanis of the Valleys hope that you will partner with us and the many community-minded local
businesses that continue to sponsor MASP every year. The materials included with this packet fully explain
the various levels of sponsorship available, as well as information on this year's exciting concert line-up.

We look forward to speaking to you about your participation in Music at Skypark 2016! Feel free to contact
Kiwanis MASP organizers Michael Stewart at (831) 334-8899 or Jim Melehan at jimbofx@msn.com.
